The Squier Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V is a 5-string bass guitar that delivers a modern take on the iconic instrument. With its stealthy appearance and cutting-edge features, it'll appeal to the bassist in the market for a stylish 5-string bass with a versatile array of tones and great playability.
Albeit a modern twist, the Contemporary Active Precision Bass PH V is instantly recognisable as a P Bass thanks to its classic body shape. Squier have paired the body with a comfortable "C" shaped roasted maple neck which is topped with a laurel fingerboard fingerboard with a 12" radius fingerboard. This combination not only provides a standout look but also aids stability and helps achieve optimal tone. Added playability comes via the sculpted neck heel design, giving better access to the upper frets. Finishing the neck is a black painted headstock with silver logo.
Things get even more exciting when it comes to the sound department. Squier have the loaded the bass with a Squier SQR ceramic humbucker at the bridge, paired with an SQR P-Bass split coil in the neck position. A 9-volt active preamp with controls for volume, pickup blend, traditional tone and stacked boost controls for bass and treble gives you easy access to an array of bass tones, all delivered with excellent articulation and good amounts of power.
The Squier Contemporary Active precision Bass PH V delivers a welcome modern take on the classic instrument, catering for the needs of the modern bassist.
